Lindsey was so gently, quick and wonderful removing all 46 staples (I kept them of course). As to be expected, she cried and let it all out but once it was over she was better again; she did amazing! Dr. Moss confirmed that the bump I can feel in the middle and right side of her forehead are the stitches that will dissolve within a few weeks (I had been worried it was bone). He also said she still has a little swelling that will continue to go down but she no longer needs to sleep with her head elevated. Additionally, he said that it's over time (weeks, months, years) that the cosmetic results will be visible.

Felicity slept all the way home. I gave her a Tylenol and bathed her once it kicked in just incase she had any sensitivity. It's the same soap and water rule and keeping the incision/scar out of the sun. She did great, just as she did when the staples were in; it doesn't even phase her. My precious Felicity Grace truly is remarkable!
We go back for a follow up in 2-3 months (I'll be making the appointments tomorrow with Dr. Joganic's office and then Dr. Moss' office)
